Today, John Kerry effectively launched his campaign for the presidency in 2008. Kerry has placed a new petition on his former campaign website, asking his supporters to "co-sponsor" his "health care plan for every child."

A supplemental video of John Kerry can be view on this page as well. A defeated John Kerry speaks directly to his supporters, thanking them for what they did in the election - Kerry claims they "rewrote the book on grassroots politics."

Kerry's speech sounds like a production by MoveOn.org and Michael Moore... talking about how all the votes have not been counted yet, referencing attacks "from big news organizations such as Fox, Sinclair Broadcasting, and conservative talk radio."

This is John Kerry's way of keeping his e-mail list alive and to retain as many of these voters as possible in 2008. Make no mistake about it, this has nothing to with a desire to give children health care. It has everything to do with John Kerry's plan to run for president in 2008. No wonder he had all this money left over from this year's campaign.

John Kerry knows that if he's going to be the Democrats' nominee in 2008 he has got to keep the Democratic base loyal to him, and not have them stray to Hillary Clinton, who is expected to seek the party nomination herself. John Kerry is going to spend the next four years redefining his record in the Senate and keeping his e-mail list in use.

There is no doubt anymore, this stunt with the petition on his former campaign website marks the beginning of his quest for the presidency in 2008.
